4 Cosytoes Trademat Plus+ 4 Trademat Plus+ Technical Information Underfloor heating mats are constructed using insulated, twin core heating cable, which includes high performance insulation, around the heater wires and either a braided or wrapped metal earth screen, with a further outer layer of polymer insulation. This is then fixed into a special fibre mesh, with the cable spaced at 75mm. To give a regulated heating output of 150w/sqm for TMP. The cable complies with industry guidelines for safe use on timber as well as solid sub-floors. All mats have been rigorously tested and surpass all European standards requirements. The mats are normally installed under ceramic, quarry or natural stone tiles. For use under other surfaces, such as hardwood and laminate flooring, simply screed over the cable and lay the alternative flooring as normal. The heating cable of each mat is terminated at one end with a 4 metre long cold power supply cable, for connection to the combined timer/ thermostat control unit. Each heating cable has a fixed resistive length and cannot, therefore, be shortened. There are 12 sizes of mat available, which can be used singly or in a combination to accommodate any floor area by connecting in parallel. Controls 16 amp combined timer/thermostat unit (Timerstat) (sold individually). Note: a 16 amp timerstat unit can be used to control a maximum of 3500 watts. Electrical Installation We strongly recommend that all electrical work is carried out by a qualified electrician and must conform to current IEE wiring regulations. The heating mats should be installed in conjunction with a floor temperature sensing Timerstat control and be connected via a RCD (residual current device) protected circuit. TMP1.0 (150w/0.7amp) - 0.5m x 2m = 1sq/m 353Ω TMP1.5 (225w/1.0amp) - 0.5m x 3m = 1.5sq/m 235Ω TMP2.0 (300w/1.3amp) - 0.5m x 4m = 2sq/m 176Ω TMP2.5 (375w/1.6amp) - 0.5m x 5m = 2.5sq/m 141Ω TMP3.0 (450w/2.0amp) - 0.5m x 6m = 3sq/m 118Ω TMP4.0 (600w/2.6amp) - 0.5m x 8m = 4sq/m 88Ω TMP5.0 (750w/3.3amp) - 0.5m x 10m = 5sq/m 71Ω TMP6.0 (900w/3.9amp) - 0.5m x 12m = 6sq/m 59Ω TMP7.0 (1050w/4.6amp) - 0.5m x 14m = 7sq/m 50Ω TMP8.0 (1200w/5.2amp) - 0.5m x 16m = 8sq/m 44Ω TMP9.0 (1350w/5.9amp) - 0.5m x 18m = 9sq/m 39Ω TMP10 (1500w/6.5amp) - 0.5m x 20m = 10sq/m 35Ω Preparing the Electrical Supply We recommend that this work be carried out prior to preparing the sub-floor and laying the heating mat. This work should be carried out by a qualified electrician and comply with IEE regulations. Having decided on the position for the timerstat control, ideally on an inside wall within the room to be heated (outside a bathroom to comply with I.E.E. regulations) and suitably positioned above floor level for easy viewing. Install a single deep (min 47mm) back box. On bathroom installations, the regulations require that the controls must not be sited within the bathroom and the timerstat should, therefore, be fitted on the outside of an internal wall as near to the underfloor heating as possible. A Wireless Timerstat has the receiver unit outside the bathroom and the transmitter (3volts) can go inside the bathroom. If more than 2 mats are to be installed, a junction box will be required to connect up the heaters in parallel as the connections on the timerstat are too small in diameter for more cables. Run an RCD protected mains supply via a fused isolator switch taking into account the total load requirements. A maximum of 4.8Kw of heating can be connected to a 30 milliamp RCD. (Please note that the system guarantee is only valid when connected to a correctly rated RCD protected circuit). All wiring should be chased into the wall and protected by either conduit or plastic trunking. Preparing the Sub-Floor The most important consideration when installing a tiled floor, whether it is to be heated or not, is the preparation of the sub-floor prior to tiling. It is essential that it is sound and level and will support the weight without movement or deflection. The following recommendations are a general guide only and you should seek further advice from the Tiler and the tile and adhesive manufacturer. Timber Floors The existing floorboards must first be securely fixed and level. This should then be over boarded with either a suitable insulated tile backer board or 18mm W.B.P. plywood. The back and edges of the plywood should be sealed before laying and then, with plated screws, fixed to the floor joists at 200mm centres, plus additional fixings at the board edges. If using a tile backer board, this should be installed following the manufacturer s instructions. (Use 150w or 160w mats on a timber floor.) Solid Floors Concrete floors should be completely dry, which, with newly laid concrete, can take many weeks to fully cure and dry. Remove all traces of old floor coverings and adhesive and ensure that the surface is smooth and level. Although the heating mats can be laid directly onto a sound, dry concrete floor, we recommend the use of insulated tile backer board for improved performance and efficiency of the heating system. For example, the worst case scenario, is to fit an under floor heating system to a ground level non-insulated concrete slab. Unless the requisite amount of insulation is included, the heater will try to heat up planet earth as well as the floor surface! To a much lesser degree, fitting an under floor heating system to a properly insulated concrete floor as per current building regulations, means the heater will need to bring the floor mass to the required temperature so use 160w or 200w mat for quicker

5 Cosytoes Trademat Plus+ 5 heat up time. The heat up time will be much slower, as will the cool down period but allowances can be made with the Timerstat. We do not recommend installing underfloor heating on uninsulated concrete floors. On some older properties asphalt or bitumastic compounds were used as a damp-proof membrane. As the heat from the cable may affect the floor membrane, it would be advisable to fit an insulated tile backer board before fitting the heating system. Timber and Solid Floors Having now determined the position of the control unit and the direction in which you intend to lay the mat, it is now advisable to cut a groove in to the sub-floor to accommodate the cold power supply cable, as they are slightly larger diameter than the heating cable. The sub-floor should now be thoroughly cleaned to remove all dust and debris and primed if recommended by the adhesive manufacturer. Planning the Installation To calculate the free area available for heating, simply allow for a 100mm (0.1 metre) margin around the full perimeter of your room and any fixed objects and deduct the sum of this from the total area. You should then choose a mat or combination of mats that is equal to or less than this figure. (Remember mats can not be shortened). The mats should not be laid over or close to any existing hot water service or central heating pipes and bear in mind that all mats are 0.5 metres wide and that opposing runs of matting should be laid approximately 80mm apart, equal to the cable spacing, to maintain a consistent output and avoid hot or cold spots. Remember that areas under fixed objects, such as baths, toilets, shower trays, kitchen units, cookers etc. should not be heated and thought should be given to the final fixing of kitchen units and sanitary ware etc., to avoid fixing screw damage to the heating element. Testing the Continuity and Resistance Prior to installing the heating mat always check the continuity and resistance with an Ohmmeter, to ensure that there is a circuit and that the cable is not damaged. The readings should be approximately similar to that on the ratings label on the mat, or as shown in the table on the previous page under electrical installation. The test should also be repeated periodically during installation and prior to, during and on completion of tiling or installing the finished floor. Installing the Heating Mat It is a good idea to lay out the installation without securing the mat, to ensure that you have the correct size. Take care not to cut or damage the cable with sharp tools and wear soft soled shoes throughout. Never cross the heating Obstacle Cut Plain Wall Cut element wire or cross the cold leads or temperature sensor wire underneath or over the top of the mat. The heating cable should not be closer than 50mm to avoid hot spots. Starting with the cold connection lead as near to the electrical connection point as possible and the mat 100mm (0.1 metre) away from the wall, roll the mat away from you to the end of the area, when you reach the end of the room, cut across the fabric (taking care not to damage the cable) and roll the mat back towards you, keeping the gap between opposing runs at approximately 80mm, until the area to be heated is completed. Note: the mat should always be laid cable up, with its flat face to the sub-floor. Securing the Heating Mat The heating mat should now be secured to the sub floor using the in built self-adhesive tape by removing the protective strip and sticking the mat to the floor. When the mesh is fixed in place, it will help reinforce the tile adhesive or self levelling compound. Alternatively, the mesh can be secured using a hand stapler on a timber subfloor. Under no circumstances should the heating cable be fixed down using staples as this will cause it to deteriorate with time and will void any guarantee. A layer of self levelling compound will protect the heating cable from access damage, or cover the area with thick cardboard until tiling. Installing the Timerstat and Floor Probe The floor probe is packaged with the timerstat. The timerstat will not work with a probe from a different model. The floor probe has a 3m lead attached, that can be shortened or lengthened with suitable wire. Tape the probe end down to the floor midway between 2 heating wires (40mm from each wire) and run the cable up to the timerstat back-box. Test the Heaters Before completing the electrical installation, it is advisable to check that the heater is working correctly. This can be done by temporarily wiring the heater cable to a 3-pin plug. Connect the blue and black wires to the live and neutral terminals of the plug, they are not polarised so either can be used as positive/live. The braided earth screen is connected to the earth terminal; the plug should be correctly fused. This can then be connected to an extension lead or convenient 13amp socket. After a few minutes, the heater cable should be warm to the touch. If more than one heater is being installed, repeat the test with each heater. The heater should not be left connected for more than a few minutes during this test. Final Connection The probe and power supply cables can now be connected to the timerstat as per the instructions; a maximum of two heaters can be connected directly. If installing multiple heaters they should be wired via a junction box as previously described. Note: Multiple heaters must only be connected in parallel - i.e. blue wire to blue wire and brown wire to brown wire and should never be wired in series to the timerstat or junction box. A

6 Cosytoes Trademat Plus+ 6 single 16amp timerstat may be used to control a maximum of 3500 watts of heater load/23sqm of mat. The timerstat can now be finally connected to the previously prepared RCD protected supply and the installation completed. This work is required to be carried out by a properly qualified electrician. Note: At this point and prior to tiling, it is advisable to do a sketch of the floor area, showing the position of the heating mat(s) and noting the resistance readings for the mat(s). This should be left with the homeowner for future reference. Once the system is installed, homeowners should ensure that the floor is not penetrated where the mat is located. Tile and Grout Only use a flexible tile adhesive and grout that is suitable for use with underfloor heating systems, and always follow the manufacturers instructions. Having ensured that the heating mat is firmly fixed to the sub-floor, the mat can either be covered by a layer of flexible tile adhesive or a self levelling latex compound, which is allowed to dry before tiling, or lay the tile adhesive and tiles in one operation. Make sure that the tiling covers the whole area of the heating mat. Care should be taken not to disturb or damage the heating mat during tiling, if possible cut and trim the tiles in a separate area. Ideally, using a plastic trowel spread the adhesive in straight lines, following the run of the matting. Ensure sufficient thickness of adhesive to completely cover the heating mat and allow the tiles to be fully bedded down, without the possibility of any air gaps underneath. If any tiles need to be lifted for adjustment, care should be taken not to damage the heating cable. Grout the floor as soon as possible after tiling, following the manufacturers instructions. Be careful if any tile joints need raking out as part of this operation so as not to cut through or damage the heating cable. Note: the tile adhesive should be allowed to fully cure naturally, before turning on the heating, normally a minimum of 7 days. Finally set the timerstat to the desired daily program as per the instructions. Alternative Flooring Underfloor heating mats have been especially designed to be installed under hard surfaces such as ceramic tiles, marble etc. but can be successfully used under most floor finishes such as hard wood and laminate (follow manufacturers advice), carpet and vinyl. Simply cover the heating cable with suitable self levelling compound - ideally a minimum of 5mm thickness of cover and lay the flooring as normal. Thought should be given to carpet grip strips for example so that their fixing doesn t affect the heating cable.

7 Softmat Important Guidelines Please read this instruction leaflet thoroughly before commencing installation: DO: Space the heaters evenly across the floor to produce a uniform heat output. Ensure that all the heating wire is fitted beneath the floor covering. Ensure your floor base has no sharp debris or objects such as nail heads protruding before starting the installation. Install the Under-laminate System beneath floating laminate floors and engineered board. Ensure there is a gap of at least 2cm between each run of heating mat Use a multi-meter to test each heater before, during and after covering with the final floor covering. Connect multiple heaters in parallel and ensure that both earth leads for each heater are connected to the earth ring. Plan where to place your heaters before commencing installation. Consider additionally insulating your sub-floor before installing the underfloor heating system. Use a thermostat to control your system and limit the floor temperature. Ensure that all electrical works conform to Part P of the Building Regulations and current IEE Wiring Regulations. Consult with your builder or electrician to ensure your BTU requirements can be met by the system if using the heating system as your primary heat source. Use 6mm depron insulation boards that are an integral part of the installation. Ensure the system is protected by a suitable dedicated RCD (30mA) DO NOT: Do not cut, shorten, strain or cross the heating cables Do not bend the joint between the element wire and the black cold tail. Do not turn on the system to maximum power once the floor covering is down, you should increase the temperature of the system slowly over a course of weeks. Do not lay the system so that any cables are closer than 5cm to each other. Do not place heaters closer than 5cm away from conductive items such as walls, metal pipework or drains. Do not install the system beneath floor coverings with a thickness greater than 15mm. Do not install the system directly beneath wooden floor coverings that have to be glued, screwed in place or mechanically fixed into position in any way. Do not walk unnecessarily on the heating system during installation. Cosytoes Softmat Do not place thermal blocks onto your finished floor covering above your heaters when they are in use. Such items include large bean bags, thick rugs or floor flush furniture. Do not install the system if the ambient temperature is below 5 C as the cables can become less flexible. Do not install the heaters in walls or ceilings. Do not install the heaters where internal walls or partitions will be added later. Do not install the floor temperature sensor close to other heat sources such as hot water pipes. Do not lay the final floor covering on top of the heaters without first testing it with a multi-meter 230V Watts Heated Area (m 2 ) Mat Dims (m) Amps Ohms Cat# SM x2.0 (140W/m 2 ) SM x SM x SM x SM x SM x SM x SM x SM x SM x SM x SM x Cable Construction Twin Conductor Rated Voltage 230V Output 140W/m2 Cable Spacing 50mm Cable Diameter 1.0mm Conductor Insulation Fluoropolymer Cold Lead 2-wire plus ground braid; 4m length Floor Preparation Preparation of the sub floor is an extremely important requirement. It is essential that the floor is solid, level and dust free. In the case of wooden floors the existing floorboards must be securely fixed. There should be no sharp debris or objects protruding from your base. Concrete floors should be completely dry and all traces of old floor coverings and adhesive should be removed to ensure that the surface is smooth, clean and level. The use of insulated tile backer boards can improve performance and efficiency of the heating system. The insulated backer board should be secured with flexible adhesive and reinforcement tape should be used across the joins. (This is extra to the 6mm Depron insulation that is part of the heating system). We recommend that the entire floor base is the same construction to ensure the system performs evenly and it is important that the sub-floor is insulated to current building regulations. (e.g. part concrete/part timber floor construction will give an unequal heat output). 7

8 Cosytoes Softmat 8 Testing the Heating Mat It is important that you test each mat with a multi-meter before unpacking to ensure that you have received your product in full working order. When connecting the Live to Neutral wires the readings should be approximately similar to that on the ratings label on the mat. The cable resistance reading should be -5% to +10% of the value stated on the label. When connecting Live to Earth and Neutral to Earth the reading should be infinity (insulation test). These tests should be performed periodically during the installation and prior to flooring installation. Installation of the Under-laminate Heating System To ensure a completely even floor surface you should cover the entire floor base with 6mm Depron soft insulation board, even where no heating is going to be laid. The 6mm boards should be laid out in a tessellating pattern similar to the way house bricks are placed in walls (see fig. 1). The boards can easily be cut with scissors or a Stanley knife and, once they are laid out on the floor. You should tape the joints between the boards with duct tape or similar. (Tape not supplied). The boards should not be secured to the floor base itself. You should now roll out your under laminate heating mats (see fig. 2), cable side down. The mats should not be bent or twisted and they should lie flat on the floor. As you roll out your first heating mat onto the floor continue until you reach an obstruction such as a wall. You should now lift up the end of the heating mat and, being careful to avoid cutting the cable, you should cut through the aluminium foil from one side of the mat to the other (see fig. 3). You should ensure that you do this between the correct cable run to allow the mat to turn the way you desire. The mat can then hinge back on itself at the point where the heating cable now joins the two sections of the heating mat and you can start rolling out your mat in the opposite direction (see fig. 4). Once you have successfully placed all of your heating mats and cold tails onto the floor you should cut out the insulation beneath the manufactured connections (where the heating cable meets the black cold tail) and the cold tail leads with a sharp knife so that they do not stand proud of the insulation. You can use double-sided tape to hold the heating mats and loose cable in position if you wish. Using a thermostat with a wired floor sensor you should now lay the sensor between two runs of the heating cable in one of the mats. To obtain the most accurate temperature reading you should position the floor sensor at least 30cm from the edge of the room in an area where no items will be placed on top of the flooring. Cut a channel in the insulation where you wish to lay the floor sensor and line this with aluminium foil before placing the floor sensor on top. You should then use a section of aluminium tape to hold the floor sensor in position and this will ensure that the sensor picks up an accurate temperature reading from the floor (see fig. 5). Finally, you should tape down the edges of all of the heating mats and also cover all of the connection wires and the floor sensor wire with tape to protect them during the installation of the flooring. Use the foil tape provided to ensure earth continuity between runs of heating mat and this will further assist the heat transfer of the system. Now the system is fully installed, carry out your electrical checks on each heating mat to ensure that they are in full working order. If the heating system is suitably protected with a dedicated RCD at this point then a competent person can turn on the heating system for 10 minutes to ensure that it is heating up as expected. A.

Please take care when working above the system by wearing soft soled shoes and by using cardboard or carpet to protect the system when you need to stand or kneel on it. Should any of the heating mats/wires be damaged during the installation of the flooring then stop the installation immediately and contact our helpline for assistance. If you are not laying your floor covering straight away the system should be covered by a layer of cardboard or carpet and you should avoid walking over the system where possible. Your electrical checks should then be carried out again before installing your final floor covering. The Under-laminate Heating system is particularly suitable for use beneath floating laminate floors and wooden floors where its low build height, fully earthed wire and ease of installation without any wet trade make it a simple to

9 Cosytoes Softmat 9 fit solution. It s not suitable for use beneath floor coverings that need gluing or bonding in position or need to be screwed or nailed into position. When installing this system beneath a floating laminate or wooden floor you should confirm with the flooring manufacturer/installer that their flooring is suitable for use directly above an electric underfloor heating system. We recommend the flooring is laid directly onto our heating system, however if you are installing some form of acoustic insulation or a membrane on top of the heating system before laying your flooring you should ensure that this insulation/membrane allows heat through efficiently. Electrical Connections All work must comply with current IEE wiring regulations and installations must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations. Consult your Local Authority Building Control department regarding their requirements for certification or check with an electrician qualified to issue Part P certification regarding your individual installation. The heating mat/s have to be wired into a thermostat with floor temperature limitation. Please see the separate instructions enclosed with the thermostat. Run the cold tail connections and floor sensor cable in separate plastic conduit or trunking from your heated floor to the thermostat position. A maximum of two heating mats can be wired into a single thermostat. A connection box will be required if installing 3 or more heating mats. Ensure that multiple mats are wired in parallel, not in series. The mains power supply must be protected by a suitable dedicated RCD (30mA and up to 4.8kW). The thermostat should be connected to the power supply via a suitably rated fused spur or circuit breaker. Check the current rating of the thermostat. Typically it will be rated at 16A and if the total loading from a combination of heating mats exceeds this value then the system will require further thermostats or need to be connected via a suitable rated switch contractor (consult with the electrician). The thermostat should be positioned on an inside wall within the room to be heated approximately 1.3m above the floor level. On bathroom installations regulations require that he thermostat must not be sited within the bathroom and should be fitted on the outside of the internal wall as near to the under floor heating as possible. Further Considerations To ensure that your system works to its full capacity for the lifetime of the flooring, please ensure that thermal blocking is avoided above the heating system. Thermal blocking occurs when the heat produced by the system warms the floor surface but is then trapped and has no way of escaping from the surface of the floor. This can cause the system to overheat in the thermally blocked area and, in extreme cases, affect the integrity of the floor covering and heating system. The heating mats are fully earthed and IPX7 rated, which means systems can be installed in bathrooms and other wet areas. When you first turn on your underfloor heating system after installing your floor covering you should take care to increase the floor temperature slowly over a number of weeks. If your floor manufacturer has instructions on the process they recommend these should be followed. In the absence of any manufacturer s instructions we would suggest limiting the floor temperature to below 25 C and gradually increasing this to the maximum setting of 32 C over the course of two weeks. This process should ensure that the floor does not rapidly heat to too high a temperature which could lead to movement within the floor. Typical Wiring Diagram of an Under-laminate Heating System All electrical works must be carried out by a qualified electrician. If you have particular concerns that your floor may suffer from thermal blocking once the heating is installed, you should consider using conventional heating mats covered with self levelling compound as this compound is very efficient at dissipating the heat that can build up under a thermal block.

The floor and electrical preparation is similar to that for mat installation, the only difference is that the heating cable needs to be fixed down along its entire length. Always remember that it is important to achieve consistent cable spacing for an even heat over the floor surface and to avoid hot and cold spots. Under no circumstances should any cable be closer than 50mm to its neighbour to avoid long term overheating and deterioration. Planning the installation To calculate the free area available for heating, simply allow for a 100mm (0.1 metre) margin around the full perimeter of your room and any fixed objects and deduct the sum of this from the total area. You should then choose a cable size or a combination of cable sizes that is equal to or less than this figure. (Remember that heating cables can not be shortened). The cable should not be laid over or close to any existing hot water service or central heating pipes and bear in mind that the heating cable should be laid approximately 80mm apart or as the following spacing chart. Remember that areas under fixed objects, such as baths, toilets, shower trays, kitchen units, cookers etc. are not normally heated and thought should be given to the final fixing of kitchen units and sanitary ware etc., to avoid damaging the heating element. Planning and laying the heating cable Following on from the floor preparation for installing mats, once the primed floor is completely dry, you can plan and mark out the layout of the heater cable. Having already calculated the floor area and chosen the cable size, use the following table to work out your cable spacing. Cable spacing and heater output Adjusting the space between the cable runs will vary the output of the heating cable per square metre. For example spacings of 100mm give an output of 120 w/sqm, 75mm gives 150 w/sq.m and 55mm gives 200 w/sq.m. Note these are the preferred outputs and spacings, but on no account should the cable be laid with spacings less than 50mm which can cause overheating and deterioration of the cable. For Example: - your heated area* is 5.00 square metres and the product is an E750. From the table the spacing is 75mm to give 150w/sqm. Or if the product is D600, the spacing is 100mm to give 120w/sqm* (The heated area is the total floor area minus fixed objects and 100mmperimeter strip). Note: - the dimensions shown in the chart are approximate and may change slightly due to the configuration of the room and the way that the cable is laid. Any surplus cable can be run around the perimeter of the room. Spacing (mm) Product Output (Watts) Cable Length (Metres) Area Covered (Square Metres) A w B w C w D w E w F w Watts/sqm

11 Cosytoes Loose Cable 11 Marking the layout Having decided on the required spacing, using a marker pen, mark a perimeter line 150mm in from the edge of the room and any fixed objects. Then starting at the closest corner of the room, adjacent to the timerstat, (the starting point), mark out the spacing intervals for the heater cable. Endeavour to keep all spacing as uniform as possible. Laying the heating cable Once you have completed marking the floor, the heating cable can now be laid out. Gently unwind the power supply cable from the cable reel until the joint with the heating cable is reached, this should then be taped to the floor at the start point using the adhesive tape supplied. At this point it is a good idea to check the electrical resistance of the cable, so as to ensure that there is a circuit, In the unlikely event that there is a fault. The reading should be approximately similar to that on the ratings label on the reel, or as shown in the chart. Now lay the cable in parallel lines, back and forth across the floor area, following the spacing marks and fixing it lightly at intervals with short pieces of adhesive tape. Continue to the end of the cable and adjust cable if necessary. Any excess cable can be run along the centre of the perimeter space ensuring that equal spacing is maintained between cable runs. Ensure that the heating cables are never allowed to touch or cross, are not twisted, knotted, kinked or coiled and are not shortened or modified in any way. Also the heating cable should not be laid up stairways or wall areas. Please contact the technical help line if you need assistance. When the layout has been completed and any adjustments made, the entire length of cable should now be taped to the floor to provide protection during tiling. Ensure that it is straight and in full contact with the floor and by running your thumb and forefinger along the tape either side of the cable, remove any air gaps. Now remove any debris and unless the floor is to be tiled immediately, it should be covered to protect the heating cable. Installing the timerstat and floor probe The floor probe is packaged with the timerstat. The timerstat will not work with a probe from a different model. The floor probe has a 4m lead attached, that can be shortened or lengthened with suitable wire. Tape the probe end down to the floor midway between 2 heating wires and run the cable up to the timerstat back-box. Test the heaters Before completing the electrical installation, it is advisable to check that the heater is working correctly. This can be done by temporarily wiring the heater cable to a 3-pin plug as per the installation for mat installation.
